Don't forget to taste Romanian beer, Timisoreana;-). The best place to do it is Unirii square. Other traditional Romanian beers are Ursus (the most famous, from 1879), Bucegi and Neumarkt.
The Romanian beer is known in Central and Eastern Europe for its taste and little price.

Unirii Square

Around the square there are buildings of a rare historical and architectural value : the Baroque Palace ( under restoration) the catholic Dome, the Orthodox Serbian Vicariat and its church, the House with lions – pity for this lions that needs a restoration.
In the spring the square is overrun by terraces ,spread all-over :beer, coffee, ice-tea ,ice-cream, everything to refresh the thirsty passenger.
Taste a coffee or a juice and the place make you an addicted to its atmosphere ,it is under your skin and you’ll return over and over.

Piata Unirii

This is so far my most favorite square in Romania. If i would ever write a book and be lost for inspiration, this would be the place i would like to go to, sit and write. It is a fairly large square with all around it beautiful 18th and 19th century houses. And there are 2 churches. A catholic cathedral facing the square and a serbian church that 'butts in' between the grand houses. On one side you can see a little fountain and when you pay attention to it, you'll see a lot of people going there to fill up plastic bottles with the fountain's water. It is true mineral water and can be drunk safely.
